Very sadly in this scene she hadn't completely cleared the trap door when the pyrotechnics went off and was burned on much of her upper body. But you're right. Decades later the Wicked Witch still terrifies little kids.
Despite her playing a wicked character, Margaret Hamilton was actually a very kind and loving person in real life. Judy Garland found it hard to be afraid of her because they became good friends on the set.
@gregreynolds2902 Yeah, when the witch made her exit, she was severely burned by the fire because the trapdoor to release her was delayed, but only on her right hand, and she made a swell recovery. She later insisted on no more fire in her scenes.
"Very well. I'll bide my time. And as for you, my fine lady, it's true I can't attend to you here and now as I'd like, but just try to stay out of my way-- just try! I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"
The wicked Witch got actual burns on in the puff of smoke, Dorothy got slapped by the director for laughing during a scene, the Tin Man got lung illness from the metal paint, the Lion’s suit was a real hide who would almost pass out constantly from overheating, and the Scarecrow’s tight realistic prosthetics caused deep long lasting damage to his face 😅 Good old Hollywood.
And don't forget Buddy Ebsen (Jed from the Beverly Hillbillies) was supposed to be the Tin Man but he was allergic to the silver paint and couldn't do it.
I think it was something to do with screen time; Miss Hamilton, believe it or not, was only on the screen for twelve minutes altogether, which may not have been enough to really rate a nomination. Incidentally, that's the same amount of time Darth Vader had in the first _Star Wars_ movie. Coincidence?
@@MaskedMan66 I read somewhere that Miss Hamilton's scenes were meant to be longer, however they frightened young test audiences so much. Also due to injuries she sustained from her green make up heating up and burning her from her teleporting scenes that her scenes were significantly trimmed down.
@@ijustgottahotdog No. A few of her more threatening lines were removed, and they took out the shot where her skywriting said, "Surrender Dorothy or die," but that was it; it really only amounted to a couple of minutes or so all told. And she wasn't burned by her make-up, she was burned by the fire; they got the make-up off of her before the copper had a chance to catch fire.

Glinda uses Dorothy the entire time just to take out the witch. When Glinda says at the end that Dorothy wouldn’t have believed her if she had told her she could escape by clicking her heals, the real reason is because Glinda had wanted Dorothy to kill the witch for her. By the time I was about ten, I realized this story was a little sarcastic, but it wasn’t until much later that I realized just how bitterly sarcastic it was. Glinda is endangering a child’s life out of laziness over pouring a little water. I admit that the MadTV sketch solidified my view. The only thing bad about the past 20-25 years of the Wicked musical and now movie is that it makes it too easy for little kids to see the deeper sarcastic layers and not appreciate the multiple meanings and powerful children’s story as well.
Well she had just seen the odds of getting killed by a falling house go up astronomically, she had no way of knowing if there were more witch-seeking houses flying around

Notice how Glinda was the one who kept agitating the Witch. First she taunted her by reminding her of the slippers, and only then did she transport them onto the unsuspecting Dorothy's feet, and then promptly gloated about it. Then when the Witch demanded them back, Glinda *ordered* Dorothy not to do so with a hypothetical what-if as justification, grinning the whole time as she kept her hands on Dorothy's shoulders. When the Witch resorted to threats, Glinda basically said in no uncertain terms that she was stronger than the Witch here. Glinda was plotting her death from the start.

I’m glad everyone on the Wizard of Oz set besides Margaret was nice to Judy. A lot of people have been saying she was badly treated on the set, but I'd have to see it happen to believe it.
@@MaskedMan66 glennda is England...duh. It's a name scrambled to make another name. The Oz enigmas is part of JFK and dead Disney associates with Os and magical trajectories.. Don't lecture me on Baum scares you know nothing about.. I speak in lies but the the truth.. English is a language of lies. England is glenndas land.. She decieved Dorothy , she stole the ruby slippers... Lied about how to get home... Dorothys house killed the other sister.. Dorothy also kills the other sister with hydrochloric acid , hence the illusion of water in a pail and acid melts her.. Glennda and fake Oz got a girl to do their bidding ...duped. When Dorothy leaves Oz... The real Oz returns to find two sisters dead... Oz wants revenge on the girl killer... Oz doesn't know Dorothy was set up...framed.. Dorothy and glennda are the illusion of good... The deaths are made to look like accidents... But with purpose. When I was a child , I did a mock trial for Hansel and Gretel.. Found guilty of cannibalism.
@@danielledewitt1 Dorothy only controls teleportation with the shoes . It was glennda ( England ) who summoned the house through a teleportation vortex. Imagine a wizard , conjures up a car ..the car appears. The car had to come from somewhere.. In Oz, the house had to come from some where else. Magic is not specific that it looks for a house with nobody in it. So Dorothy , is in the house when the witch , uses her powers to summon from reality to Oz. The red shoes take Dorothy home. She flys in a house.. She takes red shoes to wake up. If you want to teleport. You humans have to look to your past , when the future arrived back then. In order to ride lightening ... You need a lightening machine. It's like an engine block for energy and not liquids. In space , liquids freeze., Energy doesn't. Why would humans still use liquids for fuel ? Because they move away from future. I can build ufo with self generating power. But , designed for space .
When I was young, it wasn't the witch's cackle and threat that scared me. The thing that freaked me out was when the ruby slippers disappeared the feet shriveled and stockings rolled back. *Shiver* Ewwwww....
From the book: __________________ Dorothy was going to ask another question, but just then the Munchkins, who had been standing silently by, gave a loud shout and pointed to the corner of the house where the Wicked Witch had been lying. "What is it?" asked the little old woman, and looked, and began to laugh. The feet of the dead Witch had disappeared entirely, and nothing was left but the silver shoes. "She was so old," explained the Witch of the North, "that she dried up quickly in the sun."
Either two reasons come to my mind one she disappeared to show that she really died and it was over or because witches try to inhabit in peoples bodies to bring back to life with another spirit inside of them.

Dorothy caused the death of the witch's sister and then stole her shoes and wouldn't give them back... I think I'd probably be angry too if I were the witch :/
Actually she couldn't possibly have intentionally caused her house to land on the witch's sister and there was nothing she could do about the slippers. She can't ever take them off. Only someone else can take them from her dead body. There's nothing that Dorothy herself did to warrant her anger.
Damn I now feel bad for Wicked witch of the west because after watching Wicked I kinda understand why she is angry and upset at Glinda. Poor Dorothy is innocent
Hamilton suffered a second-degree burn on her face and a third-degree burn on her hand during a second take of her fiery exit from Munchkinland, in which the trap door's drop was delayed to eliminate the brief glimpse
Glinda low-key called Dorothy ugly.😂 The fact that she's asking her if she's "bad", while knowing bad witches are "ugly", exposes her for who she truly was.😂 We're not gonna talk about her sending a teenage GIRL on a dangerous trip with 3 adult"men".
I took it that bad witches can be either beautiful or ugly but good witches were always beautiful , since Glinda was confused about Dorothy's status as good or bad
@jonnaking3054 Hence, she's calling her ugly. If good witches are always "beautiful", then she should've never questioned if she was good or bad. She would've automatically seen Dorothy as a beautiful good witch.
@@BeeCee23 she wasn't even aggressive towards Dorothy. If anything she simply snapped at Glinda. But she gave the "why" to Dorothy about why she wanted the shoes. There was no threat until she was forced to make one. I never really saw it that way but it's so true.
During the production of this scene, Margaret Hamilton suffered a second-degree burn on her face and a third-degree burn on her hand because the trap door's drop was delayed by seconds. However, in the aftermath of the incident, Hamilton chose not to sue the studio and the production company. She was concerned that regardless of whether she won in the courts for being put in such a dangerous situation, the studios would likely retaliate by ensuring she would never work in Hollywood again. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That wasn't the only misfortune behind the scenes for this movie either. This movie maybe a classic but it has a lot of dark horrors behind the scenes. The white snow being some kind of toxic foam or so, the original actor who was supposed to play the Tinman ended up being rushed to the hospital after having a severe allergic reaction to the paint or whatever it was that was used on him. To the fact that one member of the production crew hung himself and I think it's been removed now but I believe in the VHS version. You can see it in the background when they're on their way to encounter the lion.
The "white snow" was actually asbestos, still commonly used in the U.S. at that time in construction for its flame retardant properties. Not linked to lung disease/mesothelioma until years later. The original Tin Man, Buddy Ebsen, suffered a severe allergic reaction to his make-up, which was a silver dust, and rushed to the hospital. He survived, of course, but had lung issues going forward for the remainder of his life. Jack Haley, his replacement, had is make-up changed to silver paint. At the end of the scene where Dorothy and Scarecrow meet and are jointed by the Tin Man, the three are singing the theme song and skipping off away from the camera. At the top of the frame one can see something falling from what appears to be a prop of some sort. This was apparently a "prop malfunction" and NOT a crew member committing suicide. The scene was never re-shot or altered and the blooper remains, although it may have been digitally removed in more recent DVD versions of the movie on.
@@marshallburlew-pg7nw Nothing "dark" and no "horrors." The snow was crushed gypsum, which had been used for snow in films since the Silent Era. Buddy Ebsen's reaction was not to the very ordinary white greasepaint, but to the aluminum powder put on it; and his reaction was not an allergic one, it was due to a congenital bronchial condition. Nobody hanged himself.
i like how the witch tries peace before violence. sure it's brief but it's there "i'm the only ones who knows how to use them, their no use to you" also the funniest thing about this is imagining mila kunis turning into margret hamilton
"Keep tight inside of them. Their magic must be very powerful, or she wouldn't want them so badly." "You stay out of this, Glinda! Or, I'll fix you, as well!" "Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Be gone...before somebody drops a house on you." I love the nervous look she has when she looks up at the sky, thinking another house may fall on her next.
The Witch wasn't really trying peace; it was a ruse. Had Dorothy given her the slippers, the Witch would have used their power to kill her, and probably Glinda, as well.
I can’t watch Judy in this anymore without thinking what she was put through. Well, what everyone was put through on set and the lack of bare minimum safety of anyone
@@MaskedMan66 You should have a reasonable expectation to not get injured on the job, regardless of what the job is. "Accidents" shouldn't happen and steps should be taken when they do so that they don't happen again. That's what the op meant.
@@jasonb.6623 LMHO Accidents (no quotation marks required) *DO* happen, no matter the profession. However, you may rest assured that Miss Hamilton never again got burned.
Margaret Hamilton did a phenomenal job. You can see how wicked (no pun intended) every second is whenever she is on screen. Even with Glinda there protecting them, the munchkins still ran and hide because they were so terrified of Elphaba.
So messed up to teach little children that good = beautiful, bad = ugly. I am so glad Wicked came a long and added some much needed to nuance to that narrative.
First, we see the now deceased wicked witch of the east, then Glinda, the witch of the north, and last the wicked witch of the west, I'm wondering, where is the witch of the south?
In the books, Glinda is the Good Witch of the South, and in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" she only appears in the second-to-last chapter. The Good Witch of the North is a sweet little old lady named Tattypoo (a name given her by Ruth Plumly Thompson, who took over the Oz series after L. Frank Baum died). Audiences of 1939 were still familiar with the books, so they probably assumed that Tattypoo was the Good Witch of the South in the movie version of Oz.
i like to think each work portrays them with a bias. The Wizard of Was portrays her as a villain, while wicked portrays things as how they really are. I can really imagine elphie saying the same things as this one does, but not in a caricatured way as in the wizard of oz movie
@@pallacsch yeahhh sure. when i say what i think, i used wicked as the main source. but if you consider only the story of the wizard of oz, then truly wicked is just a fanfic
If you read the book Wicked or listen to the audiobook, Elphie becomes much more like the Wicked Witch here in the end, she was pretty brutal with Dorothy and Leer also
It's quite ironic how Margaret Hamilton was also a schoolteacher back then. She loved kids, and she would sometimes laugh like the Wicked Witch, amazing her students.
The music playing during the disappearance of the ruby slippers still creeps me out up to this day. It's just so weird how the wicked witch of the East's corpse disappears after that too. I used to wonder if wicked witches in general aren't able to host proper burials when it happens.😅
HBO Max that recently had to cut 500 jobs, is on the point of bankruptcy and whose major shows are all tanking - thanks in no part to their racist, divisive SJW content? Watchmen - CANCELLED. Lovecraft Country - 15th in viewership with a paltry 700k on opening episode. So bad they're now uploading it free to watch to UA-cam. Yes, HBO Max is a perfect analogy for 2020 - Leftism on the point of total suicide and utterly lacking in intelligence, worth or sanity.
Margaret Hamilton as this green witch and Maleficent were my two nightmare memory at night to think about. Their character was very strong and convincing for me.
I don't blame the Wicked Witch, I would be pissed too if my sister died getting crushed by a house that came out of nowhere and the girl who's the owner of the house, got her shoes where she used to own.
But if the witch was gonna be angry with anyone it should be Glinda, not Dorothy. Dorothy couldn't help her house landing on her sister and Glinda was the one who put the shoes on her
Wicked is what I consider a what-if prequel, and it's fun to imagine the Wicked story running in the background when you watch Wizard of Oz, but in all actuality there's no way the Witch here could be Elphaba. With this Witch, what you see is what you get, I think she could care less about her sister being killed, she just wants the shoes so she can take over Oz, notice she NEVER mentions her sister again after the shoes come into the conversation. And after she gets melted here, her winged monkey was clapping and celebrating her death along with all her slaves instead of mourning her
If only BAD witches are ugly.... then shouldn't Glinda be able to tell that Dorothy would in fact be a good witch? Or is she low key dissing her? hahaha😂
Glinda was a right nasty piece of work, look at her taunting, giggling, hiding behind Dorothy, putting the ruby slippers on Dorothy so the Wicked Witch targets her, just plain nasty!
This film was shrouded with controversies and many accidents and misfortune but I cannot lie that this film is one of the most ahead things in the world of practical stunts it is deserving to be called a masterpiece.
It doesn't really work out that way, but all of those characters you mention are archetypes that have been recycled in tales of adventure since time immemorial.
Margaret Hamilton should have received an Oscar for her performance .. she ate this performance up.

I wonder if there’s a book, Broadway musical, or hit new movie about it?
Maybe the backstory can be about her not being naturally wicked, but it being thrust into her? @@waytoobiased
The Wicked Witch of the West is Wonderfully Wicked; Elphaba is Wickedly Wonderful
I wonder what relationship she has with that pretty pink princess fairy 😯
It Would Be Cool Is Her Daddy Is The Wizard.
Iconic. Absolutely iconic. We've heard these lines repeated a million times
At least! 🙂
Her look, her voice, her acting seriously Margaret Hamilton is insanely talented and perfect for her role.
Judy Garland found it difficult to be afraid when filming scenes with Margret Hamilton as Ms. Hamilton was so nice to her.
It was the same with Carrie Fisher having to pretend that she hated Peter Cushing in the first _Star Wars_ movie.
I’m glad everyone on the Wizard of Oz set besides Margaret was nice to Judy. A lot of people have been saying she was badly treated on the set, but I'd have to see it happen to believe it.
@@lanceplaxton6967 Everyone loved Judy.

"Only bad witches are UGLY"!
How to be politely savage, 2020. By Glenda.
Glennda , it's England.
In Oz , glennda means England.
Her name is Glinda, and she speaks the truth.
@@MaskedMan66 glennda is England...duh.
It's a name scrambled to make another name.
The Oz enigmas is part of JFK and dead Disney associates with Os and magical trajectories..
Don't lecture me on Baum scares you know nothing about..
I speak in lies but the the truth..
English is a language of lies.
England is glenndas land..
She decieved Dorothy , she stole the ruby slippers...
Lied about how to get home...
Dorothys house killed the other sister..
Dorothy also kills the other sister with hydrochloric acid , hence the illusion of water in a pail and acid melts her..
Glennda and fake Oz got a girl to do their bidding ...duped.
When Dorothy leaves Oz...
The real Oz returns to find two sisters dead...
Oz wants revenge on the girl killer...
Oz doesn't know Dorothy was set up...framed..
Dorothy and glennda are the illusion of good...
The deaths are made to look like accidents...
But with purpose.
When I was a child , I did a mock trial for Hansel and Gretel..
Found guilty of cannibalism.
@@saskoilersfan Glinda. How is Dorothy supposed to control tornadoes?
@@danielledewitt1 Dorothy only controls teleportation with the shoes .
It was glennda ( England ) who summoned the house through a teleportation vortex.
Imagine a wizard , conjures up a car ..the car appears.
The car had to come from somewhere..
In Oz, the house had to come from some where else.
Magic is not specific that it looks for a house with nobody in it.
So Dorothy , is in the house when the witch , uses her powers to summon from reality to Oz.
The red shoes take Dorothy home.
She flys in a house..
She takes red shoes to wake up.
If you want to teleport.
You humans have to look to your past , when the future arrived back then.
In order to ride lightening ...
You need a lightening machine.
It's like an engine block for energy and not liquids.
In space , liquids freeze., Energy doesn't.
Why would humans still use liquids for fuel ?
Because they move away from future.
I can build ufo with self generating power.
But , designed for space .
It's still a good film nearly 100 years later
It always will be. 🙂
The fact that the fire that comes up at the end gave her 3rd degree burns is so haunting.
She got over it, and the third degree burns were only on her right hand.
Not in this shot.
Pulling that stunt in 1939 was very ballsy, considering (I assume) they didn't have advanced equipment to control it safely.
Well she wasn’t burnt in this specific take. They did another take to make sure and then she got burned
Haunting? Why? She got over it. People are injured in the workplace all the time.
You drop a house on and kill my sister. Then you steal my ruby shoes, and I’m the bad guy?
She killed many people tho, still it was glindas fault
The east was evil though
When I was young, it wasn't the witch's cackle and threat that scared me. The thing that freaked me out was when the ruby slippers disappeared the feet shriveled and stockings rolled back. *Shiver* Ewwwww....
I always thought that was funny. 🙂
Glinda: “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?”
Dorothy: “Witches are old and ugly”
Glinda: “Only Bad Witches are Ugly”
Dorothy:
Glinda:
Fr tho
in my opinion the greatest movie ever assembled. this movie will be played even in the heavens.
The quintessential "wicked witch!"
Heh, at 4:42 you can make out the trapdoor Margaret Hamilton runs to for her disappearing effect!
It wasn't a trap door, it was an elevator.
Almost burned to death with the fire special effects
@@MaskedMan66 that malfunctioned leaving Hamilton in front of the pyrotechnics when they went off
@@systemshocker2875 It worked perfectly; it was the pyrotechnics that went off too early.

From the book:
__________________
Dorothy was going to ask another question, but just then the Munchkins, who had been standing silently by, gave a loud shout and pointed to the corner of the house where the Wicked Witch had been lying.
"What is it?" asked the little old woman, and looked, and began to laugh. The feet of the dead Witch had disappeared entirely, and nothing was left but the silver shoes.
"She was so old," explained the Witch of the North, "that she dried up quickly in the sun."
Either two reasons come to my mind one she disappeared to show that she really died and it was over or because witches try to inhabit in peoples bodies to bring back to life with another spirit inside of them.

After watching wicked you really have a new perspective over this movie
" ... and your little dog, too!"
Marvelous!
That's what makes her wicked.
"I'LL GET YOU MY PRETTY, AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO!"
GLINDA’S ACCENT. I LOVE IT
Dorothy caused the death of the witch's sister and then stole her shoes and wouldn't give them back... I think I'd probably be angry too if I were the witch :/
@@elliereed1262 Glinda was the evil one who pretended to be good.
Actually she couldn't possibly have intentionally caused her house to land on the witch's sister and there was nothing she could do about the slippers. She can't ever take them off. Only someone else can take them from her dead body. There's nothing that Dorothy herself did to warrant her anger.
@@michaeldonlan5343 how about not putting on shoes you just took from a dead body... Or apologizing to the witch, at least
Damn I now feel bad for Wicked witch of the west because after watching Wicked I kinda understand why she is angry and upset at Glinda. Poor Dorothy is innocent
Hamilton suffered a second-degree burn on her face and a third-degree burn on her hand during a second take of her fiery exit from Munchkinland, in which the trap door's drop was delayed to eliminate the brief glimpse
HER ACTUAL SCREAM WAS USED, typical dark occult stuff.
The ruby slippers glindas gown priceless so beautiful
Margaret Hamilton stole every seen she was in. She was brilliant.
Rest her soul.
I never noticed the continuity error at 2:59 - the carriage that Dorothy just climbed into disappears and she's right back next to Glinda.
I love watching Margaret Hamilton's performance. It's iconic. She SHOULD have won the Oscar.
She got something better: the love of billions of people and pop culture immortality. 🙂
Glinda low-key called Dorothy ugly.😂 The fact that she's asking her if she's "bad", while knowing bad witches are "ugly", exposes her for who she truly was.😂
We're not gonna talk about her sending a teenage GIRL on a dangerous trip with 3 adult"men".
I took it that bad witches can be either beautiful or ugly but good witches were always beautiful , since Glinda was confused about Dorothy's status as good or bad
@jonnaking3054 Hence, she's calling her ugly. If good witches are always "beautiful", then she should've never questioned if she was good or bad. She would've automatically seen Dorothy as a beautiful good witch.
NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED
"Only bad witches are ugly"...
So, are you a good witch or a bad witch?
Elphaba was being completely reasonable here tbh
like honestly all she wanted was her dead sisters shoes and she would've left them alone but glinda was being petty af
But it was an accident, though.
@@BeeCee23 she wasn't even aggressive towards Dorothy. If anything she simply snapped at Glinda. But she gave the "why" to Dorothy about why she wanted the shoes. There was no threat until she was forced to make one. I never really saw it that way but it's so true.
Who's here after seeing Wicked?
@fisher3317 me
Just a frickin’ icon with this gigantic performance. Heavy metal starts here. RIP Margaret Hamilton.
During the production of this scene, Margaret Hamilton suffered a second-degree burn on her face and a third-degree burn on her hand because the trap door's drop was delayed by seconds.
However, in the aftermath of the incident, Hamilton chose not to sue the studio and the production company.
She was concerned that regardless of whether she won in the courts for being put in such a dangerous situation, the studios would likely retaliate by ensuring she would never work in Hollywood again. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That wasn't the only misfortune behind the scenes for this movie either. This movie maybe a classic but it has a lot of dark horrors behind the scenes.
The white snow being some kind of toxic foam or so, the original actor who was supposed to play the Tinman ended up being rushed to the hospital after having a severe allergic reaction to the paint or whatever it was that was used on him. To the fact that one member of the production crew hung himself and I think it's been removed now but I believe in the VHS version. You can see it in the background when they're on their way to encounter the lion.
I saw it, it was freaky
She was very wise not to sue - they would have blacklisted her.
The "white snow" was actually asbestos, still commonly used in the U.S. at that time in construction for its flame retardant properties. Not linked to lung disease/mesothelioma until years later. The original Tin Man, Buddy Ebsen, suffered a severe allergic reaction to his make-up, which was a silver dust, and rushed to the hospital. He survived, of course, but had lung issues going forward for the remainder of his life. Jack Haley, his replacement, had is make-up changed to silver paint. At the end of the scene where Dorothy and Scarecrow meet and are jointed by the Tin Man, the three are singing the theme song and skipping off away from the camera. At the top of the frame one can see something falling from what appears to be a prop of some sort. This was apparently a "prop malfunction" and NOT a crew member committing suicide. The scene was never re-shot or altered and the blooper remains, although it may have been digitally removed in more recent DVD versions of the movie on.
@@marshallburlew-pg7nw Nothing "dark" and no "horrors." The snow was crushed gypsum, which had been used for snow in films since the Silent Era. Buddy Ebsen's reaction was not to the very ordinary white greasepaint, but to the aluminum powder put on it; and his reaction was not an allergic one, it was due to a congenital bronchial condition. Nobody hanged himself.
i like how the witch tries peace before violence. sure it's brief but it's there
"i'm the only ones who knows how to use them, their no use to you"
also the funniest thing about this is imagining mila kunis turning into margret hamilton
"Keep tight inside of them. Their magic must be very powerful, or she wouldn't want them so badly."
"You stay out of this, Glinda! Or, I'll fix you, as well!"
"Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Be gone...before somebody drops a house on you."
I love the nervous look she has when she looks up at the sky, thinking another house may fall on her next.
That movie isn't connected to the MGM one, despite the way they tried to set it up to look that way.
The Witch wasn't really trying peace; it was a ruse. Had Dorothy given her the slippers, the Witch would have used their power to kill her, and probably Glinda, as well.
@@jasonhurd4379 Glinda can't be killed.
It was only a dream. Just a very bad dream,🤭
This is just such a classic!
I'll never get tired of this Movie!😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t watch Judy in this anymore without thinking what she was put through. Well, what everyone was put through on set and the lack of bare minimum safety of anyone
Nobody was "put through" anything; they'd signed on to do a job, and they did it. And accidents happen.
@@MaskedMan66 You should have a reasonable expectation to not get injured on the job, regardless of what the job is. "Accidents" shouldn't happen and steps should be taken when they do so that they don't happen again. That's what the op meant.
@@jasonb.6623 LMHO Accidents (no quotation marks required) *DO* happen, no matter the profession. However, you may rest assured that Miss Hamilton never again got burned.
#unions
Margaret Hamilton did a phenomenal job. You can see how wicked (no pun intended) every second is whenever she is on screen. Even with Glinda there protecting them, the munchkins still ran and hide because they were so terrified of Elphaba.
So messed up to teach little children that good = beautiful, bad = ugly. I am so glad Wicked came a long and added some much needed to nuance to that narrative.
Exactly!!
Ugly and beautiful are very subjective terms.
Ugliness exists within, witch is the actual moral, this also from the 30's but...go off
First, we see the now deceased wicked witch of the east, then Glinda, the witch of the north, and last the wicked witch of the west, I'm wondering, where is the witch of the south?
In the books, Glinda is the Good Witch of the South, and in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" she only appears in the second-to-last chapter. The Good Witch of the North is a sweet little old lady named Tattypoo (a name given her by Ruth Plumly Thompson, who took over the Oz series after L. Frank Baum died). Audiences of 1939 were still familiar with the books, so they probably assumed that Tattypoo was the Good Witch of the South in the movie version of Oz.
Dorothy.
@@taraarrington2285 What about Dorothy?
@@MaskedMan66 Thanks for the insight.

You know honestly when i watch this witch and elphaba from wicked I'm like... Are you sure this is the same witch?
i like to think each work portrays them with a bias. The Wizard of Was portrays her as a villain, while wicked portrays things as how they really are. I can really imagine elphie saying the same things as this one does, but not in a caricatured way as in the wizard of oz movie
@@JoaoLucas-qm4mk Well no, The Wizard of Oz is the only original book, Wicked is just a fanfic.
@@pallacsch yeahhh sure. when i say what i think, i used wicked as the main source. but if you consider only the story of the wizard of oz, then truly wicked is just a fanfic
Wicked is not canon, it’s a good story but not true to the original oz timeline.
If you read the book Wicked or listen to the audiobook, Elphie becomes much more like the Wicked Witch here in the end, she was pretty brutal with Dorothy and Leer also
that witch reminds me of my second grade teacher all she needed was the outfit and the green make up
It's quite ironic how Margaret Hamilton was also a schoolteacher back then. She loved kids, and she would sometimes laugh like the Wicked Witch, amazing her students.
@@lanceplaxton6967 Nothing ironic about it.
"I'll get you, my pretty. AND YOUR LITTLE DOG, TOO!"
John Wick wants to know your location to talk about that last part.
That dude needs a psychiatrist.
Shortly after this, in a nearby cornfield:
"Well, we all can't come and go BY BUBBLE."
😂😂😂😂😂
"only bad witches are ugly"
"then why did you ask me?"
The music playing during the disappearance of the ruby slippers still creeps me out up to this day. It's just so weird how the wicked witch of the East's corpse disappears after that too. I used to wonder if wicked witches in general aren't able to host proper burials when it happens.😅
Well, no one mourns THE WICKEEED!

HBO Max here to save 2020!!!
HBO Max that recently had to cut 500 jobs, is on the point of bankruptcy and whose major shows are all tanking - thanks in no part to their racist, divisive SJW content? Watchmen - CANCELLED. Lovecraft Country - 15th in viewership with a paltry 700k on opening episode. So bad they're now uploading it free to watch to UA-cam. Yes, HBO Max is a perfect analogy for 2020 - Leftism on the point of total suicide and utterly lacking in intelligence, worth or sanity.
@@oliviakirby1409 True
Welp... this didn't age well.
Even in the original The Wizard of Oz, The Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda seem like bitter exes.
Margaret Hamilton was unforgettable in this movie.
Margaret Hamilton as this green witch and Maleficent were my two nightmare memory at night to think about. Their character was very strong and convincing for me.
So many good lines, but my favorite is “Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?” Followed by “Only bad witches are ugly.”
Happy HEAVENLY Birthday, Ms. Hamilton no matter how many versions they do you will always be the greatest Wicked Witch of the West ❤🧹
Glinda looked more a fairy like princess than a witch
She's a fairy and a witch, and although she does not use the title, she is basically the queen of the land of the Quadlings.
white witch, eastern star and all, do your homework.
I don't blame the Wicked Witch, I would be pissed too if my sister died getting crushed by a house that came out of nowhere and the girl who's the owner of the house, got her shoes where she used to own.
But if the witch was gonna be angry with anyone it should be Glinda, not Dorothy. Dorothy couldn't help her house landing on her sister and Glinda was the one who put the shoes on her
Glinda you stole Nessarose's slippers! How could you do Elphaba like that?
4:46 these reactions seem so real omg the acting
Mythical. After all she was the third best villian of all time in cinema history. She was ahead of her time in acting. Spellbinding 🧙♀️
I was thinking the same, Well Done"Claps Hands"!!! Bravas

@@ktburger659 exactly
Wicked is what I consider a what-if prequel, and it's fun to imagine the Wicked story running in the background when you watch Wizard of Oz, but in all actuality there's no way the Witch here could be Elphaba. With this Witch, what you see is what you get, I think she could care less about her sister being killed, she just wants the shoes so she can take over Oz, notice she NEVER mentions her sister again after the shoes come into the conversation. And after she gets melted here, her winged monkey was clapping and celebrating her death along with all her slaves instead of mourning her

Glinda was a right nasty piece of work, look at her taunting, giggling, hiding behind Dorothy, putting the ruby slippers on Dorothy so the Wicked Witch targets her, just plain nasty!
Period.
Yes exactly
This film was shrouded with controversies and many accidents and misfortune but I cannot lie that this film is one of the most ahead things in the world of practical stunts it is deserving to be called a masterpiece.
Glinda: Obi Wan. Dorothy: Luke. Toto: R2-D2. Wicked Witch: Darth Vader. Munchkins: Jawas.
It doesn't really work out that way, but all of those characters you mention are archetypes that have been recycled in tales of adventure since time immemorial.
And Darth Vader rides on top of the Death Star while winged Storm Troopers swarm around him.
